TIPS & ADVICE

Why You Should Fertilize Your Lawn

3/9/2018

There is nothing like the sight of a lush, thick expanse of open grass area to run and play in on a warm, sunny afternoon.  Whether you want to frolic in it or just enjoy the beautiful vision of the deep green-colored grass, one thing is for sure, and that is that a beautiful lawn is much more appealing and inviting than a struggling lawn.  A simple task that you can do in order to ensure a beautiful lawn like this is to fertilize it properly.  Although fertilization can be an expense, it is important for providing a healthy, welcoming area for you and your family to enjoy.
​
Many experts compare fertilizer for grasses as we would compare food for our bodies.  Although we can last on water and minimal nutrients alone, we thrive and flourish if we are given well-balanced nutrients that are geared towards our particular body.  The same is true for your grass.  It is important to discover what nutrients your grass is lacking; therefore, you can provide fertilizer that it greatly needs.  Soil testing is one way to discover what your lawn has and needs in terms of nutrients.  Once a soil test is performed and you know the pH level of your grass, then you can easily determine which fertilizer to use.
Nitrogen is the main ingredient that a healthy lawn requires.  It gives the blades of grass a healthier, perky look as it stimulates the production of chlorophyll.  Phosphorus and potassium are two other vital ingredients that healthy grass requires.  Phosphorus promotes strength within the grass blades and roots, and potassium aids in nutrient absorption for the grass. Since each lawn is different, it is important to know which minerals your grass has or is lacking in order to fertilize properly and provide balance for your lawn.

For regions located in warm weather, experts recommend that homeowners fertilize at least once a year.  For warm-season grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, or Buffalo grasses, the recommendation is to at least fertilize in the spring, when the initial growing season begins.  The growing season usually lasts in these warm areas from mid-spring to mid-fall.  You may also decide to fertilize in the fall, depending on your personal situation.

Yes, fertilizing your grass is one of the simplest, most basic things you can do in order to have a healthy, beautiful lawn.  A properly fertilized lawn will have a deep, rich color as well as strong grass blades, regular growth, and dense coverage.  Fertilized lawns are also more capable of fighting off lawn diseases and weeds than improperly fertilized lawns can.  You will not be disappointed with the look and appeal of a well-fertilized landscape.
